Earth Day memories...
I was a junior in high school when we had the first Earth Day in 1970.
My school let us make posters during one of our classes. Posters would be placed in the hallways and voted on by the student body to determine the best of the lot.
We were teamed up with one other student. I drew a long haired hippy type. After a short deliberation we decided to huge spiral on our poster board. Painted the spiral with fluorescent greens and orange. It definitely stood out from the crowd.
In bold letters above the spiral we wrote...
POLLUTION SUCKS...
In tiny letters below the spiral we wrote.
The breath out of youl
Early polling showed we were in the lead. Victory was assured! Until the poster was banned from the competition and removed from the hallway. SUCKS was deemed inappropriate!
